Vietnamese Phrases: Eating + drinking

    One of the most enjoyable aspects to travelling in Vietnam is discovering the delicious, fresh and unique cuisine on offer - but for the less adventurous a foreign menu can be very off putting. Make the most of your meals by brushing up on your food vocabulary before you go, and avoid eating fried noodles in every restaurant along the journey!
